Brick builders – figures needed!

This Christmas, please would you consider buying a small gift for the church?
We are after Lego minifigures for the Brick Builders club which we plan to launch in the new year.
There are mystery packs available at various outlets including Argos and Smyths (and most supermarkets). They cost £3.50 for one figure.
There are other minifigures around that are not Lego but, as long as they are compatible with Lego (and they usually say if they are), are available in larger numbers that work out quite a lot cheaper.
We are not fussy! We would just be very grateful for anything you might feel able to gift – think of it as a Sandhurst and Yateley MC stocking filler!
Many thanks in advance.
Sharon and the stewards
